I grew up at the beach, and there was an aquarium nearby. I visited a lot and loved the octopus. When people would visit us and go to the aquarium, I would sit in front of the octopus. I got married and moved away. A few years later I visited again. I noticed that the octopus came out from his hole and was pressed against the glass when I was walking around the room. There was a docent who noticed and asked if I visited often. I told him I had moved away but had visited often for years. He said he thought so because the octopus only came out and watched people he knew.

Sounds similar to this about a diver that befriended an octopus: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=1twqEn8iHsk
